Things I Wonder About

[Gvac]

The calendar. Why do we have 7 months with 31 days, 4 with 30, and 1 with 28?

Wouldn't it be easier to have 5 months with 31 days and 7 with 30?

And why don't we change the names of the months to reflect the correct number? October is not the eighth month, November isn't the ninth, December isn't the tenth, etc.

Why do American calendars start the week with Sunday? European calendars start with Monday. Who starts their week on a Sunday?

Maybe I think too much.

[Bob Impact]

You're weird.

[patsopinion]

i constantly find myself wondering why there are 60 mins/seconds
why cant you just calibrate the milliseconds differently to allow for 100 of each?
and myabe 10 or 20 hours in a day

time is so fucking arbitrary anyway i mean wtf why do we need it like that?

[Gvac]

See? Pat understands!

And speaking of time, why the fuck does an NBA basketball game last 48 minutes? What the fuck is the deal with having four 12 minute quarters? Football has four 15 minute quarters, equaling a perfect hour. Hockey has three 20 minute periods, also equaling an hour.

What kind of mental patient decided 48 minutes was enough?

Insanity I tell ya.

[FezPaul]

Speaking of insanity, why do people wear pants?

[Hottub]

You all know that I don't!

[reillyluck]

i wonder where the hell is bobby pantera

i wonder where the hell is my white horse

[Midkiff]

I've always been a big proponent of going back to the Aztec calendar. They didn't screw around with any fluctuations like that.

What's the real deal on global warning?

Where have all the bees gone? Is it the cellphones? The genetically engineered crops?

[cougarjake13]

i wonder how speech got formed

and then how things got named


like a fish what by looking at it makes you say ill call you a fish, if it had scales id call it scaly not fish, it gets its name from what we do to it, we go fishing

but then when we hunt for other animals they're called just that animals not huntimals

and when a person looked at the sky what made him say sky, and blue for the color ??? yeh it looks blue b/c that what we know it to be but the first person could have made up any name and that'd be the name we used now

Dude, you guys are thinking deep. This is where I've been for a while. Time, our whole money system, our whole fabrication of wealth and work, it's all freaking arbitrary and artificial. Read the following book about human history, it'll blow your mind:

I'm still wondering why the sky is dark at night, coz it shouldn't be.

Wouldn't the suns light coming through the atmosphere illuminate the dust and water vapor in the air that accounts for the sky looking the way it does during the day, explain why at night, such illumination is not apparent?

[Mike Teacher]

Some argue that if you go out far enough to any point in the sky, you'll eventually hit a star, no matter how far away, and while the angular size may be quite tiny the surface brightness does not dim over distance, so the arguement goes that the sky should be as bright as the surface of a star [like the sun] all around the sky 24/7/365.

This conjecture has a name...

OK another couple of weird ones from the 'extrapolation of quantum mechanics into the macro world' conjectures:

-Quantum mechanics sometimes asks; Why do we have epistemic access [knowledge] of the past, but not the future? Because in the micro-world of the sub-atomic, there is little distinction between what we call the 'past/present/future' experience that we feel.

Why do Time's arrow and Direction seem one-way? Are they?

=

-If an electron can be in two different places in apce at the same time; why can't people?

The superposition of particles is well established. In labs, we can show you, you can examine the same particle occupying two different places; there it is there, and thee it is over there; not a copy, not a clone, but the same particle.

[Turtle]

Ron talked about how much cock a chick would take over the length of a relationship the other day. I wonderd about me and my wife. So I did some figgerin.

We have been together for 12 years and have sex about 3 or 4 times a week. Call it 3.5
3.5x52=182 times a year
182x12years=2,184 times
Dick is 6.5 inches long
And go with 1.5 pumps per second & say about 4.5 min each time
6.5x1.5=9.75 inches per second
9.75 x60seconds=583 inches per min
583x4.5 min=2,632 inches per event
2,632 inches x 2,184 events=5,748,288 inches of cock
5,748,288/12 inches =479,024 feet
479,024/5,280=90.72 miles of cock or 3.48 Marathons

turtle your good ppls in my book

[patsopinion]

i wonder how speech got formed

and then how things got named


like a fish what by looking at it makes you say ill call you a fish, if it had scales id call it scaly not fish, it gets its name from what we do to it, we go fishing

but then when we hunt for other animals they're called just that animals not huntimals

and when a person looked at the sky what made him say sky, and blue for the color ??? yeh it looks blue b/c that what we know it to be but the first person could have made up any name and that'd be the name we used now

would things taste/look/smell/ different if they were named different
like if "fish" were called "ink"
would a nappy pussy still smell fishy, or would it be inkey?

this of course is just one example, but we are conditioned by words and their associations to other things.
Like the anti-brussel sprout ness.

can someone help me out. I tried to be funny and i ended up in Ohio

Fat Gets It PO.

Would A Pussy Be So Hot And Sexy If It Were Called A Puppy?

Would A Cock Be So Intimidating If It Were Called A Hen? Suck My Hen, Bitch!

There A Million Examples Where A Name WOULD Change The "Reality" Of The Actual Object.

you are only saying this because you are already so familiar with these words. if in english a cock was called a hen, we never would have known the word cock and hen would have the exact same connotation as cock. language is something so engrained in our minds that it is almost impossible to give words we already know a different meaning to it an have it make any sense.

[Fat_Sunny]

True, That Plus The Same Thing Can Have Many Different Names, Some Of Which Are Harsh And Some Of Which Are Mellow, Yet The Thing They Describe Is The Same. Cock And Weenie Describe Exactly The Same Thing, Yet They Evoke Entirely Different Reactions/Emotions.

I tell you what, I'm going to take a rock, call it a feather, and throw it at your head, tell me if the "reality" changed. You're both talking about perception.

[waltermitty]

Why do I have nipples?




Guys have nipples because we all follow a female template for about 6 weeks after conception.... At that point the male sex chromosome kicks in... The Nipples and breast tissue develop befor this point... Therefore, all males have nipples and a little bit of breast tissue...
